  • Jess Gillam Ensemble
    Thursday 15 July, St Mary’s Church 8.00pm - 9.00pm Jess Gillam Ensemble The Jess Gillam Ensemble includes Roberts Balanas & Michael Jones (violins); Eoin Schmidt-Martin (viola); Gabriella Swallow (cello); Sam Becker (bass); Elsa Bradley (percussion) and Leif Kaner-Lidstrom (piano) Early Morning Melody arr. Meredith Monk (born 1942) This poignant folk-like melody for solo saxophone by multi-talented American composer Meredith Monk possesses a haunting beauty and is taken from her 1990 collection the Book of Days. Melody No. 10 from Melodies for Saxophone Phillip Glass (born 1937) Philip Glass’s thirteen Melodies for Saxophone feels a world away from the repeated note patterns associated with his minimalist classic Music in Twelve Parts or his ground-breaking operas Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten. Melodies for Saxophone was conceived as incidental music for Jean Genet’s adapted book Prisoner of Love – a memoir of the author’s encounters with Palestinian fighters and Black Panthers in the 1970s. The tenth of these miniatures features tenderly decorative phrases. Dappled Light Luke Howard (born 1978) A rippling accompaniment supports languid saxophone phrases in Luke Howard’s evocative Dappled Light, a recent work from the contemporary Australian pianist and composer whose reputation for ambient music has secured growing numbers of devotees. Flare John Harle (born 1956) Prolific composer of over one hundred film and TV scores and world-renowned saxophonist, John Harle’s ‘Flare’ belongs to the first of his three movement Saxophone Concerto entitled Briggflatts. Premiered at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in 2019, the work was inspired by the autobiographical poem by Basil Bunting, named after the Briggflatts Quaker meeting house near Sedbergh in Cumbria, which the poet regularly attended.

  • The Passion of Joan of Arc with Adrian Utley, Will Gregory and Charles Hazlewood Supported by Hauser & Wirth Somerset
    HAUSER & WIRTH Press Release The Passion of Joan of Arc With Adrian Utley, Will Gregory and Charles Hazlewood Supported by Hauser & Wirth Somerset Wells Cathedral, Somerset, England Friday 7 October 2016, 8 pm Hauser & Wirth Somerset, in collaboration with Adrian Utley (Portishead), Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) and award- winning conductor Charles Hazlewood, presents a special live orchestral performance and film screening in the magnificent medieval setting of Wells Cathedral. Adrian Utley and Will Gregory have devised a new score sound-tracking the dramatic and moving narrative of Danish film director Carl Theodor Dreyer’s ‘The Passion of Joan of Arc’ (1928), which chronicles Joan of Arc’s trial and execution during her captivity in France. Initially commissioned by the Colston Hall and supported by The Watershed, Bristol, the inventive new score will be performed live alongside a screening of the film, led by Charles Hazlewood with members of the Monteverdi Choir, percussion, horns, harp and synthesizers. Wells Cathedral is located at the heart of England’s smallest city, Wells in Somerset, situated 13 miles from Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Cited as one of the earliest English cathedrals to be constructed in Gothic style, the building is a treasured and significant architectural landmark in the south west of England. The distinguished setting will provide a unique opportunity to witness Hazlewood, Utley and Gregory’s breathtaking and inspired production. Located on the outskirts of Bruton, Hauser & Wirth Somerset is an innovative world-class gallery and arts centre that works in partnership with many local institutions, businesses and organisations to foster local creative talent and champion charities related to art, community, conservation and education.

  • Today the Barbican Announces Details of Sounds and Visions – a Marathon Weekend of Classical and Contemporary Music, and Film Curated by Max Richter and Yulia Mahr
    PRESS RELEASE: Friday 12 January 2018 Today the Barbican announces details of Sounds and Visions – a marathon weekend of classical and contemporary music, and film curated by Max Richter and Yulia Mahr Sounds and Visions The Barbican’s marathon weekend in 2018 curated by Max Richter and Yulia Mahr Barbican Hall & foyer, Barbican Cinemas 1 & 2, LSO St Luke’s, Milton Court Concert Hall, St Giles’ Cripplegate Friday 11 – Sunday 13 May 2018 Tickets £10 – 35, plus free events www.barbican.org.uk/soundsandvisions Produced by the Barbican On sale to Barbican Members on Wednesday 17 January 2018 On general sale on Friday 19 January 2018 Acclaimed composer Max Richter and artist Yulia Mahr have been announced as the curators of the Barbican's marathon weekend in 2018. Their ambitious programme is a marathon journey into music, image, and their meeting points in today’s culture. Richter and Mahr’s programme follows previous curation by respected musicians and artists including Nico Muhly, Bryce Dessner and Nils Frahm. Co-curators Richter and Mahr said: “StudioRichterMahr, our 25 year collaboration, has taken many forms over the years. From the cafés of Hackney, our kitchen table in Edinburgh, the studios and gallery in Berlin, to its current incarnation; deep in the English countryside, our work has encompassed all manner of collisions between sound and image, and this marathon weekend, ‘Sounds and Visions’ sums up one of our central concerns - that creativity exists as a social project that can illuminate the lives of individuals and society as a whole, and that art exists beyond all boundaries.” Numerous events both ticketed and free, including concerts and film screenings, will take place across the Barbican Hall, foyers, cinemas, and the neighbouring venues of LSO St Luke’s, Milton Court Concert Hall and St Giles’ Cripplegate.
